Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp
Chapter 209 Ambition
In the middle of the night when the snow was falling, the heavy cavalry returned to the camp safely.
The team originally had 50 riders, but now there are less than 20 left. Everyone's armor is stained with blood, and both the men and horses are covered in snow.
But everyone's eyes were determined, and the whole team had a murderous aura, which was the murderous aura of having experienced life-and-death battles.
Their return was greeted with cheers from the crowd, and wine, meat and hot water were quickly served.
But the cavalrymen passed by the crowd and dismounted in front of Chen Changfan's tent, shouting respectfully:
"Sir! The heavy cavalry has rejoined, with 35 killed and 91 enemies killed. The enemy wolf cavalry are now lost in the Huangfengkou area. Please give us your instructions, sir."
After a while, Chen Changfan's voice came from inside the tent, "Well done! Take off your armor immediately and have a good rest."
"Sir, the wolf cavalry are exhausted. This is a good opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop. Why not..."
A sergeant spoke up.
"Don't worry about it. You will go and clean up the battlefield tomorrow morning. Now retreat." Chen Changfan's voice was not prone to questioning.
"Yes, my lord!"
There was a rustling sound outside the tent, and it was obvious that the cavalrymen were retreating quietly.
Shen Cuiyun washed Chen Changfan's body with concern, and her fair little hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After taking off his clothes, he revealed that his sturdy body was covered with cracks of various sizes.
Some were only a finger's length, while others spread directly from the shoulder to the wrist. The wounds, big and small, were extremely deep, and hot blood was still flowing out.
Seeing that there was hardly any good flesh on her man's body, Shen Cuiyun couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Damn those bandits! We didn't provoke them, yet they actually tried to capture our village."
Shen Cuiyun carefully avoided those horrific wounds, wiping them while cursing.
"If you don't provoke others, they will definitely provoke you. Sometimes, even if you show your knife, others will still want to snatch your knife." Chen Changfan lay on the kang with his arms and legs spread out. The warmth from bottom to top made him feel a little better.
"But we just want to live a good life. Now natural disasters are constantly happening, but man-made disasters are even more frequent than natural disasters." Shen Cuiyun looked worried.
"More terrifying than natural disasters are man-made disasters. Those refugees from Yuzhou have no idea that while they were starving, the lords of Qingshan County were pursuing the deliciousness of redtail. The people of Qingshan County also don't know that while they were starving and freezing, the clans of Qinghe County had more wine and meat than they could possibly consume."
Chen Changfan talked on and on for a long time, and Shen Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, seeming to understand, but also not to understand.
"If everyone in this world were to exercise self-discipline and uphold propriety, if every official loved his people as his own children, if every government worked diligently to govern, and if every nation yearned for peace, where would be the source of war, famine, banditry, and the constant stream of frozen corpses and the stench of wine and meat?"
Shen Cuiyun stopped what she was doing, and this time, she seriously thought about what her man said.
"In this world, wanting to live well is a sin in itself. Can this world be changed?"
Faced with his wife's questions, Chen Changfan remained silent.
There was silence for a long time. Just when Shen Cuiyun thought her man was asleep, Chen Changfan's lips suddenly moved.
“Maybe it can be changed, but it will be difficult.”
He then added, "I don't have any big ambitions. My biggest ambition is to support my wife and daughter. Now it seems that this ambition could be even bigger..."
Under the dim candlelight, Shen Cuiyun blinked her bright black eyes, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
……
It snowed heavily that night.
After Xing San died, the team besieging Xiaohei Mountain sent out a signal, but the leader did not show up for a long time, so the bandits' attack became less fierce.
They are all trying to make a living. Since the boss doesn't come, there is no need for them to risk their lives.
After all, the defenders in front of them were the meat in the pot, but each of them was fighting for their lives. The third in command was careless and underestimated the enemy, and was suffocated to death in the pot.
Eating meat is good, but if you are too impatient and get blisters in your mouth, that would be bad.
After organizing several less fierce attacks, they still failed to capture Xiaohei Mountain, and the bandits returned to Yashan Valley in disgrace.
Compared with the main force of the Wolf Gang, the elite Wolf Cavalry were in a miserable state.
After going through untold hardships, the two groups of wolf cavalry finally met in a barren mountain, but then found themselves lost again.
This time, the heavy cavalrymen sprinkled extremely fishy snake blood on their way, mixed with fish offal, which completely disrupted the Silver Moon Wolf's sense of smell.
There is so much snow all over the mountains that no one can tell where it is.
It wasn't a big deal for the wolves to freeze all night in the snow, but it was a disaster for the cavalrymen.
Without fire or shelter, this leather armor is good for fighting, but it can't protect against the cold at all.
Especially after all the rushing and fighting, my stomach was empty.
I can't stand this bitterly cold snowy night.
By the second half of the night, the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Several bandits looked at each other silently, quietly drew out the daggers from their waists, and wiped them towards their crotches.
They were not so depressed that they wanted to commit suicide, but they just wanted to eat something hot.
With a few crackling sounds, several Silver Moon Wolves fell to the ground.
The quick-reacting Silver Moon Wolf threw the bandit off its back, and the two sides quickly distanced themselves from each other.
The chaos lasted for a short while before it ended. A group of bandits and a group of Silver Moon Wolves were clearly separated.
Some of the bandits had several fingers bitten off, and some of the Silver Moon Wolves had daggers stuck in their backs.
The wind and snow blew across the sky, howling between the two sides.
The wolves' eyes were filled with human sadness, and the look they gave the bandits gradually became unfamiliar.
But the bandits were completely unaware and pounced on the wolf corpses on the ground one by one.
It was tender, warm flesh and blood, the best food to help them survive the cold nights.
"Meat! Give me a piece!"
"The blood can't be wasted, quickly pick up something to catch it!"
A few wolf carcasses were not enough for the hundreds of bandits to share. Some of them had not even had a bite of meat, and all that was left on the ground was a pool of bright red and stench.
But it was soon covered by the wind and snow.
The bandits turned their attention to the group of Silver Moon Wolves again.
Their former mounts.
The bandit's eyes were like those of a wild beast.
The wolves' gazes were actually like those of humans.
"Kill a few more wolves, or we won't survive this night."
"I just took a bite of it, damn, so I have to kill a few more this time."
The bandits talked among themselves.
The wolves exchanged glances with each other and quickly elected a new wolf leader.
It was a one-eyed wolf with a deep scar on its right eye.
Ouch——
A wolf howl was heard, and the wolves pounced on the bandits, who raised their weapons at the same time.
